Our local library reopens today. We were able to take a stack of books on the day that they closed for lockdown and have just finished the last one this week, so that was good timing.
Our lovely librarian rang this morning to let us know that they were now open, on a limited basis.
We are not allowed to enter the library to browse but we can request books and then go to collect them at the door.
She is putting together a selection of half a dozen books for us, based on our usual preferences, and we can call on Tuesday to collect them. They will be passed to us in a plastic bag. The books to be returned are to be put into a bag and placed in a wheelie bin by the library door.
Not quite back to normal just yet but we are getting there.
So your usual preferences will be gardening, drinking G and Ts, foreign travel, blogging, dressmaking...? That's your six books.
ReplyDeleteOooh, you know me so well 😁
DeleteI hope you ordered "How To Train Your Husband" by Angela Christian Pope and "The Peregrine" by Poul Anderson.
ReplyDeleteI shall certainly add these to the list, although it may now be too late for the first one to be of any use.
DeleteNo such luck here yet - I have resorted to ordering the odd used paperback from Amazon or World of Books if I see a review I find interesting. After all I am not lunching out at present so that's my excuse.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to make my current book last as long as I could. I hope she has chosen some good ones for us!
DeleteOh lucky you. Wish the library van would come round with all the books I have ordered and waiting for 9 weeks- wouldn't even need to go on it - he could just hand them out of the door. I'll keep wishing
ReplyDeleteYes, I would have thought that handing over a bag of books on the step is no different to collecting a takeaway meal or coffee?
DeleteHope her selection is to your liking. 'They' even keeps tabs on what you're reading nowadays. But hopefully that's to your advantage
ReplyDeleteOurs is a very small library in our equally small local town and everyone knows everyone else! No secrets here 😏
DeleteIt'll be a while before our libraries open I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteWe are fortunate that ours are able to reopen. Fingets crossed that it lasts.
DeleteFabulous! Lucky you...
